Morning Meanderings: 50+ Beautiful Books and The Past and Present Giveaway!

So much to share! Where to begin!

First – I am at 52 books for the year! I have not reached such numbers in 10 years. I usually start the year strong… motivated by the Annual First Book tradition, having a little more time on my hands during the colder months in Minnesota, and, of course, vacation.
Then, as the grass begins to turn green and my Event Coordinator job kicks into high gear, it gets harder and harder to pick up a book.

This year, I think an extended time away (by RV, no less!) gave me a nice start to the year with a lot of books read while traveling. Then, for whatever reason, it stuck, and here I am over my Goodreads goal of 50 for the year.

Let me get to the topic at hand, as I imagine I have about a cup of coffee’s worth of time with you ( possibly even a half cup)

The pics above are some gorgeous reads that have graced my doorstep recently…
